I doubt it'll make a difference if you leave the resonators in place. The primary job of the resonators are to minimize drone. The sound comes from the mufflers. It's how the chambers are designed inside the mufflers that gives you that sound.

Ok, muffler shop said If I mount 2 Flowmasters where the mid pipe mufflers used to be and keep the rear resonators on it will be too quiet because its like having 4 mufflers on since the rear resonators are chambered like a muffler.
So, after doing some research I decided to do this........ I took the plunge and ordered 2 "Different Trends" 409 Flow 11 series SS model #49265's.
They are 2.25 in and out staggered mufflers.

These are talked about on the other site and supposedly these mufflers and the "Jones Full Bore" set up have NO drone when you remove the rear suitcase resonators and mount these mufflers where the mid pipe ones used to be, and do straight pipe to the tips.

I should have them by Wednesday and have them installed this Thursday.......I'll post how I like 'em.

Ok got the Different Trends mufflers installed and reso delete at the rear.
It's surprisingly quieter than I thought, almost too quiet.

Muffler shop says it's because the cans are very long, he said most performance mufflers are 14" long or less, these mufflers are 18" long. Had I known that it would have made them quieter I wouldn't have ordered them.

He did say they should get a little louder after a couple hundered miles or so, they have to break in.

If they don't get any louder I may purchase some BLACK WIDOW mufflers, I've seen/heard a YOUTUBE video on a 3.6 with Black Widow cans and it sounds like a V8!! Sounds real good but I don't want to spend another couple hundred with installation right now.

So my verdict is, it's a little louder and deeper tone but not loud enough for me.
You can't hear the mufflers at all while cruising so there is NO drone, which is good.

So, if you want "slightly" louder than stock with a mellow but deeper tone these Different Trend cans are perfect.
If you want a more agressive sound you won't be happy.

replace your mid-mufflers with round baffled chambered mufflers (like thrush rattlers), remove the rear suitcase mufflers and have J-pipes (1.75" in diameter, 23.5" long, I used mandrel bent header pipe) welded on. without the J-pipes you will have very bad drone at cruising speed. the exhaust headers are cast into the heads, maybe thats the difference you were noticing in the exhaust tone.

when you remove the rear suitcase mufflers you lose some low end torque. the baffled,chambered muffler actually gives you your low end torque back. think of the solo exhaust if youre not sure what J-pipes are.

if youre in the sacramento, ca area, go see Josh at No Limit Muffler in Roseville. He did mine and it sounds great. I get a little drone at start-up, but after less than 5 minutes the pipes warm up and the drone goes away.

Gonna try some Flowmaster Super 44's.
The Different Trends mufflers sound good, I just want a little louder sound.
The Super 44's might be too loud for some people, maybe even for me.
Getting them installed tomorrow, we'll see.............

Ok, the Super 44's sound GREAT!
A little louder than the Different Trends mufflers and a nice rumble at idle.
Again a little louder than the Different Trends at full throttle but not too loud, I actually expected the Flowmasters to be louder.
Also....NO drone while cruising on the highway, slight drone when going through the gears but nothing bad.

I met a guy at a shopping center I was at yesterday and he was asking me all kinds of questions about my car, he loved the color and the stripes.
I told him about the mufflers I had for sale and he asked me to hold them for him untill the end of the month.
If he doesn't buy them I'll post them on here.

Since new and now with 3,000 miles my 2019 3.6 Challenger has been making a strange noise that in my opinion sounds like noisy lifters or maybe an exhaust leak? Car is completely quiet at idle. Only time I can hear the noise is when driving slowly and slightly pressing the gas putting a light...

I have installed the Eibach Pro Kit springs and just wanted to share my results. The kit lowered my car about 1.5 inches. Took her out yesterday and can feel the difference in handling. The ride is a bit more firm but the handling and looks are what I was looking for. I have seen a few members...

Got it on special via eBay. $130 off the listing price. Showed up today!
I used to have the Solo Performance exhaust. I sold it about 3 months ago as I was planning to trade my Challenger in near the end of the year. Plans changed.
I ordered Ripps S/C presale kit, waiting for shipping now. I...

Hey guys new guy here. I wanted to post my most recent experience changing the oil on my 2015 challenger sxt plus. I’m not sure if anyone has heard of cougar auto in JARRELL Texas, but I wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy. I got my oil change done by them back in September last year, and...
